Floyd was a farmer, carpenter, and a craftsman. He loved coon, fox, and squirrel hunting.
Moved to Arkansas first time in 1923; Moved to Louisiana first time in 1936; Moved back to Arkansas in 1942.
"Floyd began making cross ties for the railroad at a very early age in the woods of East Texas. After he and Blanche were married, he worked at a cement plant in Dallas, then later he farmed, and after that did carpentry work.
They had eight children and raised six of them during the depression era. There was sometimes barely enough money for food, rarely enough for clothes, and never enough for luxuries.
Around 1936, they moved to Shreveport, Louisiana so Dad could find work as a carpenter. They moved to an area called Dixie Garden, from there they moved to Cedar Grove. Everything went well, Dad bought a 1939 Chevrolet and was renting a fairly nice house until 1942, shortly after World War II started. That was when Dad injured his wrist. A piece of steel from his hammer chipped off and cut some nerves and damaged the tendons. He was unable to work because of this and had to sell the car and other stuff and move back to Arkansas. They moved to the Hicks place in 1942, then to Pine Ridge in 1943, then to the Anders place in 1945, then they bought the old Bell place on Iron Mountain in 1946. They lived there until about 1970, when they moved to Stonewall, Louisiana due to Dad's bad health."
